Deploying mission critical applications on Hadoop, on-premises and in the cloud

Global enterprises have quietly funneled enormous amounts of data into Hadoop over the last several years. Hadoop has transformed the way organizations deal with big data. By making vast quantities of rich unstructured and semi-structured data quickly and cheaply accessible, Hadoop has opened up a host of analytic capabilities that were never possible before, to drive business value.

The challenges have revolved around operationalizing Hadoop to enterprise standards, and leveraging cloud-based Hadoop as a service (HaaS) options offering a vast array of analytics applications and processing capacity that would be impossible to deploy and maintain in-house.

This webcast will explain how solutions from IBM and WANdisco address these challenges by supporting:

- Continuous availability with guaranteed data consistency across Hadoop clusters any distance apart, both on-premises and in the cloud.
- Migration to cloud without downtime and hybrid cloud for burst-out processing and offsite disaster recovery.
- Flexibility to eliminate Hadoop distribution vendor lock-in and support migration to cloud without downtime or disruption.
- IBM's BigInsights in the cloud, and BigSQL, which allows you to run standard ANSI compliant SQL against your Hadoop data.

Learn how you can break through the limitations of cloud object storage implementations with a LIVE DATA strategy. Moving to the cloud frees companies from their on-premises confines, and cloud object storage enables vast scalability and flexibility for data in its native format. Yet cloud object storage applications present their own challenges. Legacy solutions dictate what options can be deployed while the risk of vendor lock-in by choosing a single provider restricts future implementations and hampers pricing negotiation. A live data platform that enables active replication ensures that data that is always available, always consistent and always protected, fulfilling on the promise of cloud object storage.

Join us as Paul Scott-Murphy, WANdisco VP of Product Management, discusses the benefits of a cloud object storage approach empowered with a live data platform to help companies break down the silos and implement a robust multi cloud strategy.

In this webinar we will discuss:

- When and why you should consider cloud object storage solutions
- Key cloud object storage platforms available (S3, Dell EMC, IBM)
- Limitations of going with a single vendor, and benefits of multi-cloud
- Need for and benefits of LIVE DATA strategy in a multi-cloud environment
- Register now to learn how to implement a cloud object storage initiative while maintaining flexibility for the future and maximizing current capabilities through a live data strategy

Join us as Paul Scott-Murphy, WANdisco VP of Product Management, discusses disaster recovery for Hadoop. Learn how to fully operationalize Hadoop to exceed the most demanding SLAs across clusters running any mix of distributions any distance apart, including how to:

- Enable continuous read/write access to data for automated forward recovery in the event of an outage
- Eliminate the expense of hardware and other infrastructure normally required for DR on-premises
- Handle out of sync conditions with guaranteed consistency across clusters
- Prevent administrator error leading to extended downtime and data loss during disaster recovery

Cloud migration and hybrid cloud with no downtime and no disruption:
If business-critical applications with continually changing data are really moving to the cloud, the typical lift and shift approach of copying your data onto an appliance and shipping it back to the cloud vendor to load onto their storage days later, isn’t going to work. Nor will the one-way batch replication solutions that can’t maintain consistency between on-premises and cloud storage. Join us as we discuss how to migrate to the cloud without production downtime and post-migration deploy a true hybrid cloud, elastic data center solution that turns the cloud into a real-time extension of your on-premises environment. These capabilities enable a host of use cases, including using the cloud for offsite disaster recovery with no downtime and no data loss.

Fusion® 2.10, the new major release from WANdisco, adds support for seamless data replication at petabyte scale from Network File Systems for NetApp devices to any mix of on-premises and cloud environments. NetApp devices are now able to continue processing normal operations while WANdisco Fusion® allows data to replicate in phases with guaranteed consistency and no disruption to target environments, including those of cloud storage providers. This new capability supports hybrid cloud use cases for on-demand burst-out processing for data analytics and offsite disaster recovery with no downtime and no data loss.

In the traditional world of EDW, ETL pipelines are a troublesome bottleneck when preparing data for use in the data warehouse. ETL pipelines are notoriously expensive and brittle, so as companies move to Hadoop they look forward to getting rid of the ETL infrastructure.

But is it that simple? Some companies are finding that in order to move data between clusters for backup or aggregation purposes, whether on-premises or to the cloud, they are building systems that look an awful lot like ETL.

The cloud greatly extends disaster recovery options, yields significant cost savings by removing the need for DR hardware and support staff on-premises, and provides insurance against a total on-premises infrastructure failure. However, solutions available for cloud DR vary greatly, directly impacting the amount of downtime and data loss experienced after an outage. Join us as we review the solutions available and explain how the cloud can be used for on-premises system DR with virtually zero downtime and data loss.

Hadoop clusters are often built around commodity storage, but architects now have a wide selection of Big Data storage choices, including solid-state or spinning disk for clusters and enterprise storage for compatibility layers and connectors.

In this webinar, our CTO will review the storage options available to Hadoop architects and provide recommendations for each use case, including an active-active replication option that makes data available across multiple storage systems.

WANdisco Fusion 2.9 delivers new levels of performance and scalability, with a number of enhancements that make it easier to support hybrid big data deployments with continuous and consistent access across any mix of on-premise and cloud environments.

One of the most significant new features is the application of WANdisco’s patented active transactional replication to the Hive metastore, used to support familiar SQL-like access to Hadoop. Changes made to table definitions and other objects in the Hive metastore are replicated to Hive metastore instances deployed with other Hadoop clusters. Data added to the underlying Hadoop cluster referencing the new object definitions is replicated to other Hadoop clusters in a subsequent step, to guarantee consistent access across clusters and locations.

Data is coming from everywhere. The first challenge is just being able to get hold of it, curate and convey it in a secure and transparent manner. Hortonworks Data Flow is the tool that collects data at the edge, processes and secures data in motion and brings data into your data-at-rest platform (HDP).

Once you have your data collected in a valuable data lake, you need resilience, control over its location, and safety against failure. That’s where Wandisco Fusion & Hortonworks HDP come in. With Wandisco Fusion on HDP, an enterprise can now build an effective, fast and secure data engine out of multiple Hadoop clusters, getting the most business value out of its HDP deployment with a reliable and high-performing Big Data service.

Join Hortonworks & WANdisco on this webinar to learn how to make this into reality.
